Pick Six pool at Santa Anita expected to reach $3 million Thursday

ARCADIA >> Santa Anita Park is gearing up for a big day today, with a Pick Six pool that could reach $3 million.

All on-track fans (except early bird attendees) will receive a free $2 quick pick Pick Six ticket with paid admission if they cross the turnstiles before 1:45 p.m.

A massive carryover of $575,466 awaits bettors, with the expectation the total Pick Six pool could reach or surpass $3 million.

No one correctly tabbed all six winners in the Pick Six last Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and there was no live racing at the track Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Gates open at 11 a.m. today and first post time for the eight-race card is at 1 p.m. The Pick Six is comprised of races three through eight.

Three races in today’s Pick Six sequence — the third, fifth and seventh — will be run on the grass. The seventh race appears to be the best on the card. Eight horses aged three and up have signed on to go a mile and one-eighth.
